The present work contains a collection of essays on different themes focusing on the fundamental issues found in the classical and contemporary Indian philosophical tradition. Some of the essays focus on general themes, and the others are specific to a given theme. However, one may find connectivity among them for the peculiarity of Indian philosophical tradition is that the issues concerning metaphysics, ontology, epistemology, logic, psychology, ethics, and religion are promiscuously mixed up with one another. A faithful exposition of each of the doctrines is provided along with author’s concluding remarks.
